GNUs Flashes * http://www.gnu.org

The FSF is looking for volunteers to maintain a version of OpenOffice that doesn't require a non-free Java platform. If you want to volunteer to be one of the leaders of this effort, please write to rms@gnu.org

There is a vital need to draw the Free Software community's attention to the ongoing development work on Free Flash and Free Java platforms. These projects http://www.fsf.org/news/free-java-and-flash.html are important because computer users are continually being seduced into using non-free software, because there is no adequate free replacement.

For other news, as well as for items that used to be in this GNUs Flashes section, see What's New http://www.gnu.org/server/whatsnew.html in and about the GNU Project.

Knowlege is power... share it equitably!
